About

Founding Engineer and Resident Identity Expert at Runlayer. Most of what I build here has no prior art: identity and authorization for AI agents, the users delegating to them, and the tools in between. The specs are still being written; the systems are already in production.

What I Build

Runlayer — the identity and authorization layer for an enterprise AI governance platform: agent authentication, OAuth governance, scoped permissions, and runtime access control across every major AI client. Spans emerging identity protocols across AAIF, IETF, and OpenID Foundation.

Intel — led identity and cloud accounts for Tiber AI Cloud, the platform Intel built to sell its GPUs and Gaudi accelerators as a service. Nothing reached the silicon without going through identity first.

Nelnet — five years building Nelnet Velocity, the fintech platform behind billions of dollars in loan origination and servicing. Built the identity layer that let competing lenders run on shared infrastructure, and ended up setting technical direction for a 150-engineer organization.

Before that — distributed systems and platform architecture across fintech, logistics, and GRC.
